Are gag orders constitutional?

Why did Trump say three years? He’s losing it, dude!
Jesus Christ, How the fuck would I know? So, why wasn't this crap brought in a timely fashion, instead of waiting until the timing was such that it would interfere with the elections?

They could not even start the cases till he was out of office. These things take more than a month or two to compile.
 
Judge in Trump NY fraud trial extends gag order to lawyers, says office has received ‘hundreds’ of threats since trial started

A New York judge ruled Friday that a limited gag order on Donald Trump should also apply to his attorneys, citing their remarks about his staff and the deluge of threats and harassment that have “inundated” his chambers since the former president’s fraud trial began.

“The threat of, and actual, violence resulting from heated political rhetoric is well-documented,” Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron wrote in a fiery court order Friday afternoon.

“The First Amendment right of defendants and their attorneys to comment on my staff is far and away outweighed by the need to protect them from threats and physical harm,” Engoron wrote.

The gag order bars attorneys in the case from making any public statements, in or out of court, that reference any and all confidential communications between the judge and his staff.

Engoron had previously imposed a similar gag order on Trump, after the former president shared a social media post attacking the judge’s principal law clerk.

Are they gagging Trump's lawyers now? :cuckoo:

This is unbelievable !

Welcome to the North Korea of the USA~

 
It was brought in a timely matter. Trump’s lying.
Well, what you have is a perception problem then....In March, according to Reuters, some 54% of American's believed that Manhattan's case was political, and that needle hasn't lessened with the deluge of more indictments brought, timed to interfere with the primaries...

What does that have to do with the question of timeliness? You’re trying to deflect with an irrelevancy. Judges don’t make rulings according to polls.
 
The Constitution no longer has any authority. It's what politicians say it is on any given day, depending on whether they are using it or ignoring it.
It’s what the SC says it is. Just because you don’t approve of every ruling, doesn’t mean the Constitution lacks authority or that it means what politicians say it means.

FALSE as evidenced by lawless Democrats who ignore the SCOTUS rulings, then intentionally scheme to do end runs around the rulings.
